This photo was taken just down the road from our house. Isn't this a great picture? I was driving with Leah and Kayla, returning home from the store, and the sun was going down behind the pagoda. We are having really nice weather. This morning's low was 62 degrees and today's high will be only 82! Nice!

Furlough Coming Up

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that we'll be coming home for a six month furlough in the USA from December 18 to June 12. Would like to see as many of you as possible while we're stateside. Please pray for us to have a good flight back, a time of rest, and be able to raise needed support for the ministry here. Please email us at haas4cambodia@yahoo.com if you would like to schedule us to visit your church.

Pictured here are some of our Bible students packed like sardines into a very worn out old van. You will notice that the door fell off. Yep, it fell off. We got it repaired and now it is back in service. Our vehicles are getting pretty old and worn out. I got the 4x4 stuck in a ditch today, but thanks to some of the villagers, I was only sidelined for about 15 minutes. We need to get a couple of vans and trade in this old Mitsubishi Montero for a different model.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a short note from our family to say "Happy Thanksgiving" to all our friends and family! Just remember why this is an important day. Once upon a time, despite what the revisionist historians say, this was a Christian nation, and the day was set aside to be a day of thanksgiving to God. By "God," they meant the God of the Bible, not "Allah" and not "Buddha."

This is "Bo." He's one of the over 30 Bible students that are living in our dorms. We are trying to raise funds to help feed, house, and educate young people like Bo. Please pray for these students as they come from the rural provinces. Many come looking for work, but many of them find the Lord Jesus Christ.



This is Kimsan. He is also one of the students needing your prayers and help. His whole family came to know Christ as Saviour. His wife, his children, his brothers and sisters, all are believers now. They destroyed their idols and other things associated with the former religion. They have taken a stand for Jesus Christ! In this picture, he's pumping water so that the students will have water to take a shower.

Thank you for your prayers and support! Some folks have decided to support some of the students, but the need is still great. Please help us to buy the food and other things these kids need while they study the Word of God.

November 8, 2007

Well, I had no title for this post, but decided to go with today's date. I'll be 48 in less than a week. Seems like only yesterday, I was 18! My, how time flies!

We have over 30 Bible students that we are housing and feeding. These are poor students from the rural provinces who come to the capitol to study the Scriptures. Please assist us in prayer and support for these students. We have rented two houses: one for the male students and one for the female students. In addition, it costs about $300 a week in groceries to feed all these students. It would help us greatly if some churches would help sponsor some Bible students. We are giving them a place to stay, food to eat, and helping with things they need like pens, pencils, books, and personal toiletry items. This is a BIG need and we need your help!

We will coming back to the USA for a 6 month furlough beginning the week before Christmas and going through the first half of June. We would love to come by and update your church on the ongoing ministry here in Cambodia!

Please remember us, our churches, orphans, and student/disciples in your prayers and financial support! God bless you all!
